Meal subscription and management app

Home-cooked meal businesses are usually run through scattered WhatsApp chats, making plans, delivery days, and the weekly menu hard to organise. I design apps that turn this into a structured subscription with clear plans and a customer account.

Who this is for

  • A home-meal business owner currently managing orders through WhatsApp only
  • A small food venture wanting to move from ad-hoc orders to a structured subscription
  • A team wanting to test a meal subscription idea before scaling operations
  • A business offering multiple plans (weekly, monthly) that needs a system to manage them
  • An end customer looking for healthy meals with a clear, trackable delivery schedule

Recommended app structure

Plans

A clear presentation of weekly and monthly plans and their prices.

Weekly menu

A menu updated weekly that subscribers can view.

Subscription flow

Steps to choose a plan, delivery days, and payment.

Customer account

Tracking the current subscription and upcoming orders from a personal account.

What the app includes

  • Weekly or monthly subscription with clear options
  • Delivery day selection based on customer preference
  • A weekly menu updated regularly
  • A user account for tracking the subscription
  • A responsive RTL Arabic interface
  • A structure that can add new plans later
